| The self-proclaimed “heart and soul” of Chesapeake Bay, St. Michaels, is a quaint, resort town that certainly lives up to its motto. Just across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Washington DC, Baltimore and Annapolis, a visit to St Michaels is like stepping into the past with the amenities of the present. Originally, a tobacco farming and shipbuilding community, St. Michael’s history dates back to the late 1700s and today still reflects its heritage with its Colonial and Victorian homes and landmarks, horse-drawn carriages and its commitment to preserving Chesapeake’s maritime history. This peaceful village is a haven for boaters, sailors, fisherman and cyclists or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With its extensive array of shops, galleries, wineries and restaurants, there is plenty to do and tasting the fresh local crabs and oysters is worth the trip alone. |
